Home is
where your heart lives; it’s where you find your center. Even if sometimes it
takes years to admit that truth.

For these four lifelong friends, the sleepy town of Cavanagh, Tennessee—rich in
Irish history and diverse culture—is the softest place to fall. Here they
forgive and move forward. Here they love fiercely. Here they endure.

Welcome to Cavanagh, where rugby is king, Guinness is mandatory and family has
nothing to do with blood.

Chasing Serenity – Book One
Graduate student Autumn McShane has had her share of heartbreak. But she's
learning to recover, until her ex-boyfriend returns to town, intent on making
her life miserable. Declan Fraser hates her ex as much as Autumn does, but the
last thing she needs is to put her trust in the hands of another man,
especially one like Declan, but he's the only one who can help Autumn win an
ill-advised bet that, if lost, could cost her more than she's willing to pay.

Behind the Pitch – A Serenity Series Novella
Expat Irish rugby player Declan Fraser only wanted to play the sport he loves.
He didn’t want to be stuck in this middle-of-nowhere town at this all too
quaint university. He didn’t want his team captain to be an entitled jackass
and he sure as hell didn’t want to fall in love with graduate student Autumn
McShane.

Finding Serenity – Book Two
Mollie Malone's mom skipped out on her. Her biker dad, always loose and easy
with the law, still was able to make her feel loved, and to keep her safe. But
thirteen years ago, when his luck finally ran out and he landed in prison,
Mollie found herself a new family - a group of friends who know about the
rotten roots of her family tree but accept her anyway. Now Mollie is finally
able to see past graduation to a future that is bright and secure. But
sometimes the past doesn't stay buried. Suddenly, there's a shadow behind every
step Mollie takes. And it isn’t just the past that has Mollie’s life in
upheaval. Former Marine Vaughn Winchester has his own secrets and Mollie wants
to know each one.

Home is where your heart lives; it’s where you find your center. Even if
sometimes it takes years to admit that truth.

Claiming
Serenity – Book Three
She left glitter in his AC vents. He put green dye in her conditioner. She
buttered his bathroom floor, and he kidnapped her precious puppy. Layla Mullens
hates Donovan Donley. His crude language, his wide shoulders, his crystal blue
eyes…she hates that she can’t stop herself…from kissing him or landing in his bed.
And Donovan Donley wants nothing more than to knock Layla off her princess
pedestal. He hates her stuck up attitude and her soft, tempting lips. The white
flags in their prank war have been lowered but their high stakes battle has
just begun.

Catching Serenity – Book Four
It began with a look. Just one, thrown my way. A mad, dizzying rush of desire
cracking across the patio, bouncing around my friends, ignoring everything but
the heat bubbling between his eyes and mine. That’s when Quinn O’Malley came into
my life. We were inevitable. We were senseless. He wrecked me. He saved me. I
still haven’t recovered.

Sayo McIntyre didn’t want the complications that came with Quinn O’Malley. But
life doesn’t care what we want. It gives us what we need. *This is a multi-media
novel with illustrations from RN Laing.*

Beyond the Pitch– A Serenity Series Novella

we forget we aren’t all alone. When they return to Cavanagh to say goodbye,
these four women, all struggling with their own stressful realities will have
to decide just how much they’re willing to sacrifice for their friends and what
that sacrifice will cost them.

Eden Butler is an editor and writer of Mystery, Suspense and
Contemporary Romance novels and the nine-times great-granddaughter of an
honest-to-God English pirate. This could explain her affinity for rule breaking
and rum.

When she’s not writing or wondering about her possibly Jack
Sparrowesque ancestor, Eden patiently waits for her Hogwarts letter, edits,
reads and spends way too much time watching rugby, Doctor Who and New Orleans
Saints football.

She is currently living under teenage rule alongside her
husband in southeast Louisiana.

Like a wolf
that’s sniffed its prey, my nostrils flare with excitement at the sight of the
open door. Finally, after all this time, she’s mine.

I rush to
the door like a rabid animal, wanting to claim her this very instant.

I can’t
wait any longer. I want her so badly; I feel like I’m about to explode with
need, so I storm through the door, ready to take her.

I kick the
door to my cage closed and march toward hers. I ignore everything else in the
room and focus solely on getting to her. I peer around the corner through the
opening. There she is.

My woman.

My Ella.

I rush to
her, not giving a shit that Syrena is yelling at me, asking what’s going on. I
want her. No, I need her.

I want to
bury myself deep inside her and hear her moans as I fill her with my seed. I
want to feel her skin on top of mine; I want to lick her crevice and taste her
sweetness on my tongue. I want it all.

But when I
approach her, she cowers in a corner, diving away when I get close.

Her eyes
are filled with fear as I stare at her for a moment, her body shivering.

But there’s
no need to be scared. I’ll take more than good care of her.

I’ll give
her every lick she’ll need, every kiss she asks for. I’ll protect her from
anything and anyone. Because she’s mine now …

My woman.

My Ella.

I reach for
her and grasp her arm. She resists, jerking free, so I take her other arm.
Again, she pulls back and gives me this look as if she doesn’t want me to touch
her. But that’s not true. I saw her looking. I saw those hungry eyes. I saw her
practically begging for my cock when she licked her lips at the sight of it.

Just as her
eyes slide down my body this very instant, taking in every inch of my length.
She gulps, visibly impressed. A smirk spreads on my lips.

I know she
likes what she sees.

She can’t
deny her own body’s desires.

So I put my
hands on her tiny waist, lift her up from the floor, and throw her over my
shoulder.

Then I turn
around and march right back into the room I came from, kicking the door to her
cage shut.

With her
fists, she pounds on my back.

Feisty. I
like that.

It makes it
much more interesting when she’s just as eager as I am. I’ll make sure she’s
opened up to me before our time is over.

I put her
down on the bed, and she immediately tries to crawl away. Towering over her, I
grasp her ankles and flip her over. That blue dress looks pretty on her … but
it’s in the way. So I lean over her and push it up with my hand until it’s
right above her waist. I can see she’s struggling, her fingers desperately
clinging to the fabric as if she’s afraid of what’s about to happen.

But the
look in her eyes … it’s different from anything I’ve ever seen before. Like she
doesn’t know what’s about to happen. Like it’s never happened to her before.

Could she
be …?

I smile at
the thought.

My seed
will be the first to lay claim to her womb.

As I hover
over her, she places her hands on my chest and face, pushing me away. I grasp
them and pin them above her head. My face is so close to hers now … I can smell
her delicious scent. With my eyes closed, I take a whiff, and they almost roll
to the back of my head. That’s how good it smells.

But when I
open my eyes again, hers are red, and water fills them again. With my thumb, I
brush away the single drop rolling down her cheek. Then I tuck her beautiful
white hair behind her ears, and I lean in to press a kiss to her lips.

It’s
agonizingly slow for me, but I know I need to be gentle with her.

For all
these years, her body went untouched, and it doesn’t know how to respond to a
man like me. Doesn’t know how to yield.

But I’ll
show her. With my body, I’ll teach her how to submit.

I'm thrilled to be
the maid of honor in my friend's wedding, but the best man, Andrew McCormick,
is a chauvinistic pig with a God complex.

And I can't stop
kissing him in closets.

(Don't ask.)

He's the brother of
the groom and the CEO of my biggest mystery shopping account, but suddenly he's
refusing to be in the wedding. He won't talk about it. Won't see reason.

He's such a man.

And he still won't
stop kissing me in random closets.

(Thank goodness.)

I'm a fixer. That's
what I do. I can fix anything if given the chance. But when the game is fixed
there's only so much I can do.

The ball's in his
court now.

Game on.
